Answer:
2x + 4 is 14
Explanation:
Given:
John owns x books
Sue owns 4 more than twice the amount John owns = 2x + 4
To find:
the value of 2x + 4 when x = 5
To determine the value, we will substitute 5 for x in the expression:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x\text{ + 4 = 2\lparen5\rparen + 4} \\ 2(5)\text{ = 10} \\ 2\left(5\right)+4\text{ = 10 + 4} \\ 2\left(5\right)+4\text{ = 14} \end{gathered}[/tex]
If x is 5 then 2x + 4 will be 14
